Just bought a detached house in Worcestershire , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Worcestershire conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Worcestershire is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Worcestershire where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Worcestershire conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
